The film, being distributed by The Weinstein Company, tells the painfully true story of Alan Turing, the brilliant British mathematician and logician whose work helped crack the German military’s Enigma code during WWII.

After the war, however, the British government pressured Turing into chemical castration, hounding him into suicide, because he was gay. In 2009, Queen Elizabeth II issued a pardon and Prime Minister Gordon Brown officially apologized on behalf of the British government for wronging Turing.
